<p>Dr. Prologo is a graduate of The Ohio State University School of Medicine.</p>
<p>He has spent the majority of his career researching new solutions for pain and weight loss.</p>
<p>He is most well-known for pioneering a procedure to block hunger, allowing people to reach a critical point beyond which dieting was no longer a struggle – work that allowed him to define the critically acclaimed “Catching Point” beyond which diet and exercise are easier for those trying to lose weight.</p>
<p>The Catching Point itself, and the strategy to get there are outlined in his book: The Catching Point Transformation.</p>
<p>In today’s podcast, we unpack all things weight loss and dietary adherence. This is a nice back and forth conversation as opposed to a straight up interview so hopefully you enjoy it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Points</h2>
<ul>
<li>Dietary adherence doesn’t have to be miserable forever. In fact, there is a point beyond which the feelings that you have around clean living and working out become favorable. Once you get past the so-called “catching point” (technically the ability to jog for roughly 30 minutes, uninterrupted), you will actually begin craving healthy food and exercise.</li>
<li>One of the biggest reasons so many people fail a weight loss journey is that they tend to do everything all at once: They drop calories and certain foods one day (which signals a starvation event to the body) and, to add a “superimposed insult” on top of that, they start a new exercise program, further adding stress to yourself. Having a strategy and clear intention behind the changes you make will ensure that your transition to a healthier lifestyle becomes easier to manage.</li>
<li>Eat with the intention to recover and not just to consume a certain number of calories. The goal is to change your body through nutrition. Building a new body requires the “scaffolding” upon which to build something healthier and fitter than what came before.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Powerful Quotes by Dr. Prologo</h2>
<ul>
<li>The only thing that matters is adherence—that you can stick to whatever program you’re on.</li>
<li>My goal is not to burn calories. My goal is to induce change in my body.</li>
<li>The experience of making a change from overweight or obese to lean, is a distinctly different project from maintaining a lean physique.</li>
</ul>
